CD ROM Problem


Recommended Posts

I have SAMSUNG 52X CD-Rom Drive.

Sometimes, when I try to eject it, the CD tray doesn't come out and the computer gets hanged.

What could be the problem.

I have checked all the wires, they seem to be alright.

well when your computer turns on, it usually displays a list checking your hdd(s) and cd/dvd drives.. it should say what hardware you have and its role eg

Primary master: HDDName/CD/DVD

Primary slave: HDDName/CD/DVD

Secondary master: HDDName/CD/DVD

Secondary slave: HDDName/CD/DVD

write down what you have

If you had a 56x ROM, I'd say you'd better use a 52x one.

But since you have 52x already, I'd say it's a frequent problem on Win98 and Win98SE.

But, if you have WinXP, then this problem is related to some other software, as said by sven.

I'm sure this problem does not occur on a newly installed WinXP. But if it does, then your ROM is partially corrupted and needs a repair. Particularily, it's the rubber band.
